Entergy Reports Third Quarter Earnings

NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported third quarter 2017 earnings per share of $2.21 on an as-reported basis and $2.35 on an operational basis (non-GAAP), which excludes the effects of special items.

“Today we are reporting a strong third quarter, and we now expect to finish the year in the top half of our Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings guidance range,” said Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Leo Denault. “We have completed most of our key deliverables for the year that support our strategy to achieve steady, predictable growth at the Utility, while managing risk and an orderly exit of our merchant power business. We are affirming our 2017 guidance and our longer-term outlooks.”

Business highlights included the following:
Entergy Arkansas reached an unopposed settlement with the Arkansas Attorney General and other intervenors on the recovery of nuclear costs in its 2017 and 2018 test year FRP filings. The settlement is subject to approval by the APSC.

Consolidated Results

For third quarter 2017, the company reported earnings of $398 million, or $2.21 per share, on an as-reported basis and $424 million, or $2.35 per share, on an operational basis. This compared to third quarter 2016 earnings of $388 million, or $2.16 per share, on an as-reported basis and $416 million, or $2.31 per share, on an operational basis. Summary discussions by business are below.

Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A and a comprehensive analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances is provided in Appendix B.

Utility, Parent & Other Results

For third quarter 2017, the Utility business earned net income attributable to Entergy Corporation of $401 million, or $2.22 per share, compared to $443 million, or $2.47 per share, in third quarter 2016. Drivers for the quarterly decrease included lower net revenue and higher operating expenses.

Net revenue decreased quarter-over-quarter, driven by unfavorable weather in the current quarter compared to favorable weather a year ago. For third quarter 2017, cooling degree days were 16 percent below normal, compared to 14 percent above normal in third quarter 2016. Excluding the effects of weather, net revenue was higher reflecting weather-adjusted sales growth and new rate actions to recover investments that benefit customers.






On a weather-adjusted basis, billed sales increased 3.5 percent, including 3.8 percent and 2.5 percent for residential and commercial billed sales, respectively. Industrial billed sales volume increased 4.0 percent with higher sales to both new and expansion customers as well as existing customers. The increase was driven largely by the primary metals and chlor-alkali segments. Sales to petroleum refining and industrial gases customers were also higher.

Utility non-fuel O&M increased quarter-over-quarter, driven by higher spending on nuclear operations including nuclear refueling outage expenses. Depreciation and amortization as well as taxes other than income taxes were also higher. In addition, other income increased period-over-period due partly to higher AFUDC-equity funds.

Parent & Other recognized a loss of $(58) million, or (32) cents per share, for third quarter 2017, compared to a loss of $(63) million, or (35) cents per share, for third quarter 2016.

On a combined basis, Utility, Parent & Other (non-GAAP) contributed $1.90 to third quarter 2017 consolidated EPS and $2.12 to third quarter 2016 consolidated EPS. On an adjusted basis, normalizing weather and income taxes, Utility, Parent & Other (non-GAAP) contributed $2.15 per share in third quarter 2017 to consolidated EPS, compared to $1.98 in third quarter 2016.

Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and operating measures, including reconciliation for non-GAAP Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and EPS.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results

For third quarter 2017, EWC earned net income attributable to Entergy Corporation of $55 million, or 31 cents per share, compared to $8 million, or 4 cents per share, for third quarter 2016. On an operational basis, EWC earned $81 million, or 45 cents per share, in third quarter 2017, compared to $35 million, or 19 cents per share, in third quarter 2016.

The sale of FitzPatrick at the end of first quarter 2017 affected period-over-period variances for multiple line items. In third quarter 2016, the plant contributed a (15) cent loss to as-reported EPS and 2 cents to operational EPS.

Excluding FitzPatrick, revenue from nuclear plants increased due to higher capacity prices. Current period earnings also reflected the impacts of previous impairments, specifically lower fuel and refueling outage expenses. Other income increased largely from higher realized earnings on decommissioning trust funds. Partially offsetting the increases was higher decommissioning expense due in part to the agreement with NYPA to transfer the Indian Point Unit 3 decommissioning liability and associated trust to Entergy.

Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and operating measures, including the calculation of EWC operational adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP).

Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2017 operational earnings guidance range of $6.80 to $7.40 per share and its Utility, Parent & Other adjusted guidance range of $4.25 to $4.55 per share. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.

The company has provided 2017 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measures of operational EPS and Utility, Parent & Other adjusted EPS. These measures exclude from the





corresponding GAAP financial measures the effect of special items as described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” The company has not provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP guidance to guidance presented on a GAAP basis because it cannot predict and quantify with a reasonable degree of confidence all of the special items that may occur during 2017. The only anticipated special items that the company can reasonably estimate at this time are those that relate to the decisions to sell or close the company’s merchant nuclear plants; these estimated costs, which are excluded from the earnings guidance, are expected to decrease as-reported EPS by approximately $(2.10) per share.

Earnings Teleconference

A teleconference will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 10:40 a.m. Central Time on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, to discuss Entergy’s quarterly earnings announcement and the company’s financial performance. The teleconference may be accessed by visiting Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com or by dialing 844-309-6569, conference ID 56951898, no more than 15 minutes prior to the start of the call. The webcast slide presentation is also posted to Entergy’s website concurrent with this release, which was issued before market open on the day of the call. A replay of the teleconference will be available on Entergy’s website at www.entergy.com and by telephone. The telephone replay will be available through Oct. 31, 2017, by dialing 855-859-2056, conference ID 56951898. This release and the webcast slide presentation are also available on the Entergy Investor Relations mobile web app at iretr.com.

Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, including nearly 9,000 megawatts of nuclear power. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.9 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of approximately $10.8 billion and nearly 13,000 employees.

Entergy Corporation’s common stock is listed on the New York and Chicago stock exchanges under the symbol “ETR.”

Details regarding Entergy’s results of operations, regulatory proceedings and other matters are available in this earnings release, a copy of which will be filed with the SEC, and the webcast slide presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy’s Investor Relations website at www.entergy.com/investor_relations and on Entergy’s Investor Relations mobile web app at iretr.com.

For definitions of certain operating measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix F.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within this release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.






Certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release could differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings. Operational earnings are not calculated in accordance with GAAP because they exclude the effect of “special items.” Special items are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, and may include items such as impairments, gains or losses on asset sales, and other gains or losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as Entergy’s recent decisions to shut down or sell its merchant nuclear plants. In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax effected interest expense; net revenue; return on average invested capital; and return on average common equity are included on both an operational and as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as “operational” would exclude the effect of special items as defined above. Entergy reports the combination of the Utility segment with Parent & Other as Utility, Parent & Other, which is all of Entergy excluding the EWC segment, since management uses this combination in making decisions about its ongoing business in light of its decision to exit the merchant power business. Entergy also reports Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings, which combines the Utility segment with Parent & Other, excludes applicable special items and normalizes weather and income tax expense for the periods presented, because it believes that these financial metrics provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy’s businesses and assist investors in comparing Entergy’s financial performance to the financial performance of other companies in the Utility sector. In addition to reporting earnings per share on a consolidated basis, Entergy reports on a per share basis the earnings or loss of each of its segments, together with the combination of the Utility segment and Parent & Other. These per share measures represent the net income or loss of such segment or segments divided by the diluted average number of shares of common stock outstanding over the period. Entergy believes such per share measures provide useful information to investors in understanding the results of operations of those businesses and their contribution to Entergy’s consolidated results of operations.

Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA; operational adjusted EBITDA; gross liquidity; debt to capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; debt to operational adjusted EBITDA, excluding securitization debt; operational FFO to debt ratio, excluding securitization debt are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions and cash budgeting and performance monitoring activities to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy’s ongoing financial results and flexibility and assists investors in comparing Entergy’s credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity of others in the Utility sector.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in this release are presented in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Entergy’s operations that, when viewed with Entergy’s GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Entergy’s business. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it might





not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, Entergy undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

OCF decreased quarter-over-quarter, driven in part by the receipt of DOE litigation proceeds in third quarter 2016. Unfavorable weather in the quarter, compared to favorable weather a year ago, also contributed. Positive weather-adjusted sales growth partially offset the decrease.

Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business. Amounts are shown on both a net income and per share basis. Special items are included in as-reported earnings consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings. As a result, operational earnings is considered a non-GAAP measure.

See appendix in the webcast slide presentation for additional details on EWC line item variances.

(e)
EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted average number of common shares outstanding; income taxes - other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items.
(f)
The current quarter decrease reflected a reduction in third quarter 2016 expense which resulted from final court decisions in several lawsuits against the DOE related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs. For the quarter and year-to-date, the increases in nuclear generation and refueling outage expenses were partly offset by lower fossil-fueled generation expense. The year-to-date decrease also reflected higher transmission and distribution expenses due to higher vegetation maintenance costs, the first quarter 2016 $18 million (pre-tax) cost deferral at EAI for previously-expensed costs related to post Fukushima and flood barrier compliance and increased compensation and benefits expense due partly to a revision to estimated incentive compensation expense in first quarter 2016.
(g)
The current quarter and year-to-date variances reflected the sale of FitzPatrick and lower refueling outage expenses (due to impairments). The year-to-date as-reported decrease reflected higher severance and retention expenses which resulted from decisions to close or sell EWC’s nuclear plants; the 2017 year-to-date period also included costs associated with the agreement to sell FitzPatrick. These expenses were classified as special items. The year-to-date variances also reflected a second quarter 2016 reduction in expense as a result of final court decisions in litigation against the DOE for the reimbursement of spent nuclear fuel storage costs; a portion of the amount (12 cents) was considered a special item.
(h)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected higher AFUDC-equity funds due to increased construction work in progress and higher realized gains on decommissioning trust fund investments (substantially offset in net revenue).
(i)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected higher realized gains on decommissioning trust fund investments. In the year-to-date period, 5 cents was from gains on the receipt of nuclear decommissioning trust funds from NYPA in January 2017 (classified as a special item and excluded from operational EPS).
(j)
The current quarter increase was due to an inter-company adjustment in third quarter 2016 (offset at EWC).
(k)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due largely to higher franchise and ad valorem taxes.
(l)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due partly to a third quarter 2016 reduction in depreciation expense which resulted from final court decisions in several lawsuits against the DOE related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs. Additions to plant in service also contributed.

(m)
The current quarter decrease was driven by weather, which was negative in third quarter 2017 and positive in third quarter 2016. Partially offsetting the effects of weather, weather-adjusted billed sales volume was higher for residential, commercial and industrial classes. Net revenue also reflected rate changes including EAI’s 2017 FRP, ETI’s TCRF and the timing of recovery of purchased power capacity costs at ELL through its FRP.
(n)
The year-to-date increase was partly due to the third quarter 2016 interest expense recorded as a result of a FERC order on EAI’s opportunity sales case. Higher AFUDC-borrowed funds due to increased construction work in progress also contributed.
(o)
The year-to-date decrease was due to nuclear fuel spending, nuclear refueling outage spending and expenditures for capital assets being charged to expense as incurred as a result of the impaired value of the EWC nuclear plants’ long-lived assets due to the significantly reduced remaining estimated operating lives (classified as special items).
(p)
The year-to-date increase was due to a gain on the sale of FitzPatrick (classified as a special item).
(q)
The year-to-date decrease was due to the second quarter 2016 reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax positions totaling $136 million for positions resolved in the 2010-2011 tax audit. This was partly offset by customer sharing recorded as a regulatory charge ($16 million pre-tax, included in net revenue).
(r)
The year-to-date increase was largely due to the net effect of income tax elections in second quarter 2017 and 2016. Both tax items resulted from internal reorganizations which, for tax purposes, allowed the company to recognize deductions for decommissioning liabilities today; those deductions created permanent tax losses. The reductions in income tax expense were $373 million in second quarter 2017 and $238 million in second quarter 2016. The as-reported increase also included a tax benefit which resulted from the re-determination of FitzPatrick’s tax basis as a result of the sale of the plant in first quarter 2017 (classified as a special item).
(s)
The year-to-date increase was driven largely by the sale of FitzPatrick.
(t)
The year-to-date decrease resulted partly from the establishment of decommissioning liabilities at FitzPatrick and Indian Point 3 in August 2016 from the agreement with NYPA to transfer decommissioning liabilities and associated trusts to Entergy. Revisions to the estimated decommissioning liabilities from the early shutdown decisions for Indian Point and Palisades in fourth quarter 2016 also contributed to the decrease.
(u)
The year-to-date decrease reflected lower volume for nuclear assets, including the absence of FitzPatrick after it was sold in first quarter 2017, partially offset by lower fuel expense. The as-reported variance also reflected cost reimbursements from the buyer related to the FitzPatrick sale (classified as a special item).

F: Definitions and Abbreviations and Acronyms
Appendix F-1 provides definitions of certain operating measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures remove the effects of financial events that are not routine from commonly used financial measures.

Appendix F-1: Definitions
Utility Operating and Financial Measures
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to retail and wholesale customers
Net revenue
Operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power and other regulatory charges (credits) - net
Non-fuel O&M
Operation and maintenance expenses excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale and purchased power
Non-fuel O&M per MWh
Non-fuel O&M per MWh of billed sales
Number of retail customers
Number of customers at the end of the period
 
 
EWC Operating and Financial Measures
Average revenue under contract per kW-month (applies to capacity contracts only)
Revenue on a per unit basis at which capacity is expected to be sold to third parties, given existing contract prices and/or auction awards
Average revenue per MWh on contracted volumes
Revenue on a per unit basis at which generation output reflected in contracts is expected to be sold to third parties (including offsetting positions) at the minimum contract prices and at forward market prices at a point in time, given existing contract or option exercise prices based on expected dispatch or capacity, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the below-market PPA for Palisades; revenue will fluctuate due to factors including market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at the time of option expiration, costs to convert firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs
Bundled capacity and energy contracts
A contract for the sale of installed capacity and related energy, priced per MWh sold
Capacity contracts
A contract for the sale of the installed capacity product in regional markets managed by ISO New England, NYISO and MISO
Capacity factor
Normalized percentage of the period that the nuclear plants generate power
Expected sold and market total revenue per MWh
Total energy and capacity revenue on a per unit basis at which total planned generation output and capacity is expected to be sold given contract terms and market prices at a point in time, including estimates for market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at time of option expiration, costs to convert Firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs, divided by total planned MWh of generation, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA
Firm LD
Transaction that requires receipt or delivery of energy at a specified delivery point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must compensate the other party as specified in the contract, a portion of which may be capped through the use of risk management products






Appendix F-1: Definitions
EWC Operating and Financial Measures (continued)
GWh billed
Total number of GWh billed to customers and financially-settled instruments (does not include amounts from investment in wind generation that was accounted for under the equity method of accounting and which was sold in November 2016)
Net revenue
Operating revenue less fuel, fuel-related expenses and purchased power
Offsetting positions
Transactions for the purchase of energy, generally to offset a Firm LD transaction
Owned capacity (MW)
Installed capacity owned by EWC
Percent of capacity sold forward
Percent of planned qualified capacity sold to mitigate price uncertainty under physical or financial transactions
Percent of planned generation under contract
Percent of planned generation output sold or purchased forward under contracts, forward physical contracts, forward financial contracts or options that mitigate price uncertainty that may or may not require regulatory approval or approval of transmission rights or other conditions precedent; positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the planned generation under contract
Planned net MW in operation
Amount of installed capacity to generate power and/or sell capacity, assuming intent to shutdown Pilgrim (May 31, 2019), Palisades (not later than May 31, 2022), Indian Point 2 (April 30, 2020) and Indian Point 3 (April 30, 2021)
Planned TWh of generation
Amount of output expected to be generated by EWC resources considering plant operating characteristics and outage schedules, assuming intent to shutdown Pilgrim (May 31, 2019), Palisades (not later than May 31, 2022), Indian Point 2 (April 30, 2020) and Indian Point 3 (April 30, 2021)
Production cost per MWh
Fuel and non-fuel O&M expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh (based on net generation), excluding special items
Refueling outage days
Number of days lost for a scheduled refueling and maintenance outage during the period
Unit-contingent
Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is in operational outage, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages, unless the contract specifies certain conditions such as an availability guarantee
